When defining a FileTransfer object, file attributes for its destination can additionally be specified in the FileTransfer tab.
Possible attributes
| Attribute | Attribute description | Possible values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alq = number | Allocation quantity; ignored if an allocation XAB is present. | ||
| bls = number | Device block size (applies to files of sequential organization only) | ||
| deq = number | Default extension quantity | ||
| fop = value, value, ... | File processing options | ctg | Contiguous: indicates that the space for a file is to be allocated contiguously. |
| cbt | Contiguous-best-try. | ||
| cif | Create if nonexistent. | ||
| dfw | Deferred write: writing back to the file from the modified buffer is deferred. Applies to relative and indexed files and sequential files opened for shared access. | ||
| dlt | Delete file on close. | ||
| mxw | Maximize version number. | ||
| nef | Not end-of-file. | ||
| pos | Current position. | ||
| rck | Read check compare operation. | ||
| rwc | Rewind file on close. | ||
| rwo | Rewind file on open. | ||
| scf | Submit as command file on close. | ||
| spl | Spool to system printer on close. | ||
| sqo | File can only be processed in a sequential manner. | ||
| sup | Supersede. | ||
| tef | Truncate at end-of-file. | ||
| tmd | Temporary delete. | ||
| tmp | Temporary (no file directory). | ||
| wck | Write check compare operation. | ||
| fsz = number | Fixed header size. | ||
| gbc = number | The requested number of global buffers for a file. | ||
| mbc = number | Multiblock count. | ||
| mbf = number | Multibuffer count. | ||
| mrs = number | Maximum record size. | ||
| rat = value, value, ... | Record Attribute | cr | Carriage-return control. |
| blk | Disallow records to span block boundaries. | ||
| ftn | Fortran print control. | ||
| none | Explicitly forces no carriage control. | ||
| prn | Print file format. | ||
| rfm = value | Record Format | fix | Fixed length record format. |
| stm | RMS stream record format. | ||
| stmlf | Stream format with line-feed terminator. | ||
| stmcr | Stream format with carriage-return terminator. | ||
| udf | Undefined. | ||
| var | Variable length record format. | ||
| vcf | Variable length record with fixed control. | ||
| rop = value, value,... | Record processing Operations | asy | Asynchronous I/O. |
| cco | Cancels Ctrl/O (used with Terminal I/O). | ||
| cvt | Capitalizes characters on a read from the terminal. | ||
| eof | Positions the record stream to the end-of-file for the connect operation only. | ||
| nlk | Do not lock record. | ||
| pmt | Enables use of the prompt specified by "pmt=usr-prmpt" on input from the terminal. | ||
| pta | Eliminates any information in the type-ahead buffer on a read from the terminal. | ||
| rah | Read ahead. | ||
| rea | Locks record for a read operation for this process, while allowing other accessors to read the record. | ||
| rlk | Locks record for write. | ||
| rne | Suppresses echoing of input data on the screen as it is entered on the keyboard. | ||
| rnf | Indicates that Ctrl/U, Ctrl/R, and DELETE are not to be considered control commands on terminal input, but are to be passed to the application program. | ||
| rrl | Reads regardless of lock. | ||
| syncsts | Returns a success status of RMS$_SYNCH if the requested service completes its task immediately. | ||
| tmo | Timeout I/O. | ||
| tpt | Allows put/write services using sequential record access mode to occur at any point in the file, truncating the file at that point. | ||
| ulk | Prohibits RMS from automatically unlocking records. | ||
| wat | Wait until record is available, if currently locked by another stream. | ||
| wbh/nowbh | Write behind. |
